IPL Finals: N Srinivasan Vs BCCI, CSK Vs MI!

The corrupt in India tends to
demonstrate a sickeningly familiar behavioral pattern. Even after being caught
red-handed they never want to let go of their gold mines out of which they want
to continue making the easiest of money. Whatever the magnitude of corruption
crime and whatever the pressure mounted on them they continue to propagate
their magnanimous innocence. From politics to all other fields including sports
prominently this behavioral pattern is evident. You can find ample proofs of
this if you care to peruse and find the pages of this site. For
such people there should always be one option—sack them as soon as possible,
and better put them in jail.

N Srinivasan, the hopelessly implicated President of the
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), arrived yesterday in Mumbai on the
way to Kolkata to watch one of the IPL finals being played tonight. In a brief
encounter with the media he announced that he did no wrong and would not be
bulldozed into quitting. He also made the ridiculous comment that the BCCI was
following the rules strictly. In a brazen display of clout he even challenged
any other member of BCCI to get elected to replace him as President. Today in Kolkata, N Srinivasan reiterated his resolve not to resign saying that nobody has asked him to do so, that there is no dissent within the BCCI and that only the media and other 'vested' interests have to be blamed for raking up all this muck against him. Well, as
per BCCI-IPL contract rules if an official or a member of any franchise brings
disrepute the contract of that particular franchise should be terminated
immediately. And, the BCCI President or any other member must take morale
responsibility for anything done by him/her or by his/her kin.

N Srinivasan continues to be defiant refusing to resign
despite his CSK-CEO son-in-law put in jail for his involvement in betting and
possibly match fixing too. His BCCI just suspends Gurunath Meiyappan and
dissociates from him. Therefore, breaking their own rules he continues to be
President and is set to present the IPL Trophy to the winner of the
tournament—possibly his own dubious franchise. And, CSK is set to play Mumbai Indians (MI) in the other final tonight instead of getting terminated from IPL.

Nobody including
the media and BCCI officials gave him any chance of continuance on Friday midnight after his son-in-law was arrested in Mumbai in the raging IPL Spot Fixing Scandal. From that time the first
IPL final is being played between N Srinivasan
and right-minded BCCI officials who never want a tainted President bring
disrepute to IPL by presenting the winner trophy. In Kolkata the first final is
raging with many officials and politicians trying to convince him to call it a
day. But to no avail. There is a possibility of BCCI working committee sacking
him if three-fourth of the members votes against him. However, with his clout
still not gone garnering support of three-fourth is going to be very touch.

Therefore, as
things as of now stand, the IPL is deservedly going to be a proven fraud cricket
tournament with a fraud President presenting a fixed Trophy to a fraud winner. Meanwhile,
Union Law Minister Kapil Sibal reiterated his resolve to draft an anti-fixing
law to prevent disappointed to the millions of fans in any sports activity. But
pray, why doesn’t the Government of India step in and sack the corrupt Chief! There
must be some way of doing this despite the autonomy or dichotomy or whatever.

Police custody
of Gurunath Meiyappan was extended to 29th of May by a court in
Mumbai last evening. Mumbai Police has been interrogating Gurunath and Vindoo face to face for the second day today. A court in Delhi today extended the police custody of Sreesanth for two more days and agreed to hear his bail plea on 28th May. Ajit Chandila and two bookies have been remanded to police custody till May 28. The third cheat Ankit Chavan and three more bookies have sent to judicial custody till June 4. Delhi Police has been going through the CCTV footage on Sreesanth and bookies.

Baby Falak, the bruised and brutalized 2-year-old girl, finally decided to say goodbye to this cruel world (India) and departed for a better world. The poor child died on her third cardiac arrest on Thursday (March 15, 2012) at the same Delhi hospital she was admitted to though she had been improving well over the past few days. Doctors attending for nearly two months were planning to discharge her soon, but they were not sure of her brain functioning.

Amulya Kumar Chakravarty

Noted Writer-Translator-Administrator of Assam 1928-1991

Amulya Kumar Chakravarty Memorial Trust Award

Amulya Kumar Chakravarty was a writer and a celebrated translator of world epics. He translated Homer’s Odyssey and Iliad and Virgil’s Aenid into Assamese. These books were published in the seventies and eighties in Assam, India; and even now are bestsellers going into multiple editions. Doubled with a flowing original language and strict authenticity these translated epics are hailed in Assam as trend setting translations.

Amulya Kumar Chakravarty had a hard life. Being a farmer’s son he went to the nearby town for studies and after graduation set off for Calcutta (now Kolkata) for post graduation in English. His ambition was to become a college teacher so that he could devote his life to education and writings. But due to economic hardships he had to come back half way and was forced to join Assam Civil Service of which he could not ever come out. He also contracted diabetes after forty years of age. Uprightness, honesty and efficiency ruling his career he always struggled for economic stability. He never had enough money and always took pride in telling that his only investments in life had been on his four children's education. Burning a lot of midnight oil, literally, and waging a constant war against mosquitoes he continued his writing activities and apart from the three translated epics he also wrote numerous short stories and a half completed novel. His exemplary honesty remains a source of inspiration for his admirers in today's environment of rampant corruption.

Amulya Kumar Chakravarty passed away in 1991. His family and local literary bodies in Guwahati formed a memorial Trust in 2002 and decided to institute an Award for excellent literary translations in Assamese on a biennial basis. The first Award consisting of cash prize and certificate was given in 2003 to one of the nominated books. This gave a tremendous boost to promote genuine translation works in Assam.

The Trust has announced the Award for 2011 to eminent author Dr. Prafulla Kataky for his outstanding contribution to Assamese literary translation work.

The Award was presented at an august function held on October 09, 2011 at Veterinary College Auditorium, Guwahati.

For 2013 the Sixth Amulya Kumar Chakravarty Memorial Translation Literature Award was presented to Author-Translator Bipul Deuri at a dignified ceremony held on 6th October, the 22nd Death Anniversary of Amulya Kumar Chakravarty, at Sankardev Kalakshetra, Guwahati. The Award was handed over by Imran Shah, President of Assam Sahitya Sabha. A Painting Competition for Children was organized by Shrutinaad earlier on the day as a part of the event.

The Seventh Amulya Kumar Chakravarty Memorial Translation Literature Award has been presented to Dhrubajyoti Borthakur for Assamese translation of Hermann Hesse's book 'Siddhartha'. The award was ceremonially handed over by the President of Assam Sahitya Sabha, Dr Dhrubajyoti Bora on 4th October, 2015 at Sankardev Kalakshetra, Guwahati

Tributes to Poet Composer Kamalananda Bhattachayya

It was on this day of 4th January, 1951 that the State of Assam lost a great son , a poet, composer, lyricist, playwright and freedom fighter, Kamalananda Bhattacharyya who had composed over 200 songs in Assamese apart from a vast array of other writings.

But when common people are fed up and angry they are capable of revolutions, again, if properly supported and guided. Pages of world history give enough proofs of that which everybody would accept except perhaps Pakistan.
